That's awesome. I just got my date May 24th. How tall are you and where are you at now? I'm 5'2" 213 and would love to be 130. My surgeon will be Dr. Felix with advanced Bariatrics.

I started at 5'4, 288, march 15 wearing a snug size 24. Last Thursday I was at 246.5lbs. Like -41.5 lbs and down to a loose size 20!! Congrats on your date.

Felix is good. I have no complaints. Let me know what you think. Don't be nervous. Felix's office pretty much make sure you get approved.

That does kinda suck. I think it's a bunch of crap. They call it a program fee to cover the nutritionist and stuff. I thought it was suppose to cover the psychologist too from my understanding but I had to pay for that too.
